Baby duck hepatitis?

Oh, I'm also starting on real duckling food instead of chick starter. I want to make sure all this new stuff mixed together is ok.

To be on the safe side, consider alternating the niacin in her water with the vitamins and electrolytes. The niacin five days a week, and the other two, the vitamins and electrolytes. That is just an idea. Glad you are thinking ahead.

Do you know if I can mix the niacin with the vitamins and electrolytes i was already giving her?

What dose is the niacin your giving her? I understand niaicn is water soluable which means it passes through the body pretty quick so unless your giving a larger dose 100mgs is what is rec for a tiny, Then after a week on the electrolytes/vitamins cut it back to 3X a week then 2X a week then 1X. This is how I do it when I have ducklings and chicks.

Do you mean cut the electrolytes/vitamins back or the niacin? Thanks for your help!

The electrolyte solution keep the niacin going daily till 10-12 weeks.
